Rihanna popped out for a spot of dinner in LA last night, in typical low-key style (that was witty sarcasm). The singer was snapped leaving the Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, wearing a slouchy printed dress and over-the-knee socks.

And they weren't just your average Clueless era OTK socks: they came complete with red toes, red heels, red soles and red seams.

Also, at first glance we were worried that Ri was either upset, fed up or had toothache, thanks to her face clutching - but on closer inspection, it seems that she probably just wanted to show off her awesome nails.

For her first public appearance post-Chris Brown assault, Rihanna went fierce and fabulous in this exaggerated shoulder tux by Dolce & Gabbana. It was definitely one of her more controversial looks, but we have to applaud the singer for making such a strong fashion statement.

When Viktor & Rolf showed their crazy chainsaw-hacked dresses on the catwalk, we wondered who would be able to pull off their beautiful but overwhelming pieces. Rihanna does a fantastic job of ensuring she wears the dress - and the dress doesn't wear her.

Rihanna's debut album, Music of the Sun, reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart when it was released in 2005. Fashion-wise, she dressed the part of a 15-year-old in funky trainers, splattered denim and a colourful crop top.
